this is the way washington works problem. washington can't do anything. they had two years of meetings and meetings upon meetings and new regulations about the -- they can't manage their way out of a paper bag. the old top down way of doing things in washington, hierarchy can't fix anything. this is the best washington can do. this is the best washington can do and not the worst. so the next election is going to be about that. can we change washington? republicans are going to be the party of change. democrats are going to be the party that says more of the same. >> which republican party will be the party of change? will it be ted cruz party of change >> the american people will never go back to the status quo where health care is 17% of our gdp. they won't go back to tell women about they existing condition and won't take children on their parents' plan off health care. >> can you take something away from people? can members of congress say, okay, you have this but now we're going to take it away from you? >> it's harder. once you have it, it's much har

in washington he's a senior fellow at the washington institute also in washington we have michael hughes he is a freelance journalist and foreign policy analyst and in toronto across the forward is id he's a political science professor at the university of toronto our gentlemen cross-talk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i very much encourage it so i'm it's go to you first. do you believe a word that barack obama has to say given the last thirty years of bad relations between the two countries and i'm talking about covert overt operations up to this day. you know. the last ten years cannot be blamed on obama. i think he has a sponsible for his own presidency and he has been relatively a better president when it comes to iran when you compared him to others we have had occasions when the us congress wanted to pass new sanctions against iran and he has opposed those type of sanctions and in his speech at the un i think he had the couple of good points that was the first time we have heard that from a u.s. president for example he talked about president rouhani ha

do you thing what the guys are doing in washington, republicans are doing in washington, a good idea. shutting down the government. he had to dodge those things. he couldn't say, as you would expect, he would, you would want to if you are coming to washington to meet with the troops. yeah, they're doing great. i'm behind them on everything they're pushing here. >> yeah, i don't know why he wanted to cozy up to the stench of this. >> exactly. >> doesn't make sense on a political matter. and you know -- christie already is having trouble with the dynamic obviously. dating back to the election in which he was accused and criticized i thought wrongly at the time for cozying up to obama with respect to hurricane sandy recovery. he should have known this would dog him again. not sure why he came here. obviously entertained questions on it. but the broader problems, affecting the republican party are much greater than that. what we have right now is a complete division, between the pragmatists, and the idea logs. nicole was right. a bankrupt strategy. what they could do tactically. right now

so, again, no real budget being passed in washington. the dysfunction continues, the vote in the house was 285-143. so you still have a majority of the republicans in the house voting against any kind of ideal. in the senate it was moreover women, almost everyone votes, almost all of the -- the majority of the republicans in the senate did vote for this bill. so the senate continues to be more moderate than the house on the republican side. but there is still some very serious divisions within the republican party and, again, no ability to cut a longer term deal that really deals with the deficit, with the debt with the real issues that face this country think president obama talked about this deal and he said that the american people had lost trust in washington. and there is little doubt about that. the wall street journal article that talked about the winners and losers in this whole debt and government shutdown debacle said that clearly the biggest loser of all was the american people. and we want to have a discussion about all of th

>> whole story of british burning washington as revenged this is a myth. it is one that we can pretty clearly say now is not why the british came here. they were already burning towns in chesapeake will before anybody knew about york. as a justification as they introduced into the parliamentary discussions with flowback so what coburn envisioned was a blow to collapse the government to force americans to make peace on the british terms. a lot of ways operating as free-lance to persuade his superiors to go along with a plan based on opportunity to end the war it if they had captured baltimore they may have succeeded. it is interesting to think about. when we say the british did not come here because york was burned one year earlier not to say they were not eager for revenge but it was not about york but other actions in canada that were more recent that in british mines were much more heinous actions they york which actually hardly made a ripple at the time. by the american command would ever happen to there was from the troops running around on their own p
